Re: emb milk strick
The strike started in France and I don`t suppose that it will spread anywhere else. There are very few farmers in Germany that maybe plan to support the strike. As liquidity on the farms is very low at the moment, who can afford to go on strike?
The three biggest farmer and dairy associations in France have written an open letter in which they oppose the milk strike. They argue that the negotiated French milk price recommendation of 28 Cent on average for this year is much more than most other European dairy farmers get paid.
But lets wait and see, the French are usually much more radical and effective in striking than others.
